Virtual Radiologic Corporation (NASDAQ:VRAD), a national
radiology practice and a leader in the development of radiologist
workflow technology, received notice of allowance of a patent by
the United States Patent and Trademark Office for several
applications within its technology portfolio. The pending patent,
titled “Multiple Resource Planning System,” recognizes the
rules-based technology vRad uses to receive orders over the
internet and automatically assign them to radiologists based on a
set of business and clinical rules, including subspecialty
training, licensing, credentialing, workload, hospital preferences
and other customized parameters.
Additionally, the patent will cover vRad’s order forecasting and
radiologist scheduling applications. Collectively these analyze
historical patterns of previous study volume from the aggregation
of multiple hospitals to prepare radiology order forecasts and
future radiologist work schedules including licensing and
credentialing needs.
This pending patent demonstrates vRad’s unique position as a
comprehensive radiology services provider and a leader in
technology development for radiology. “vRad has evolved into much
more than just a teleradiology practice,” said Rob Kill, vRad
chairman and chief executive officer. “We are a national practice
helping local radiologists and hospitals deliver the highest
quality of patient care in the most cost-effective manner through
both technology and clinical solutions.”
Rick Jennings, vRad’s chief technology officer, said this patent
is the result of years of technology investment, experience and a
development process centered on radiology user input and keeping
patient care at the forefront of all activities. “These proprietary
automations strengthen the technology engine we use to run one of
the largest radiology practices in the U.S. and the technology
solutions we offer to our customers,” Jennings said. “Our
technology helps boost radiologist productivity and enables the
delivery of high quality patient care. It all boils down to routing
the study quickly to the right radiologist at the right time to
improve speed of diagnosis and patient care while reducing overall
system costs.”
